Beyonce on Ellen is an episode on Ellen that I will always remember and love. Ellen is such a sweetie and she knows just the right amount of dosage of questions to ask. And as I have suspected all along, Beyonce is a woman of such grace and …

There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …
